AHEAD 2015 ELECTIONS: North hijacks APC ...How?

The All Progressives Congress(APC) appeared to have been hit by internal struggle for power, which is threatening its very foundation ahead of the 2015 general election.

Investigations by Sunday Tribune confirmed that no fewer than four major blocks have emerged in the party ahead its national convention fixed for May 24, 2014.

It was learnt that the party is being haunted by the tag of a Janjaweed party placed on it by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and is desperately seeking ways to reverse the perception.

As a result of that, sources said that Northern leaders of the party have decided to ditch the Senator Bola Tinubu-led South-West caucus and pick a National Chairman from the South-South.

However, the interim National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Lai Mohammed, reacting through a text message, denied knowledge of any internal struggle within the party, saying: “I am not aware there was any altercation on account of recognition, neither am I aware of any intra-party struggle for control of the party by any group from any part of the country.”

It was leant that though Tinubu initially backed the idea of picking the National Chairman of the party from the South-South and was hoping to back former Edo State governor, Chief John Odigie- Oyegun, for the post, some developments have forced the Tinubu camp to drop the idea and revert to the idea of backing Chief Bisi Akande, the interim national chairman to retain his seat.
